M32's Adrian Neilly explains that having used Robe fixtures for many club, pub and bar installations, they had no hesitation recommending them for this installation, knowing they would be used heavily: "The build quality is excellent, they are very robust, the price is excellent plus there's the great service from Robe UK and the two-year warranty - we couldn't go wrong," he states. Robe UK made several fixtures available in advance of the deal allowing Neilly to demo' them in situ to Butlin's technical manager, Nick Owen. Once he'd seen them in action, it was an easy decision.
It was the first time Owen has used Robe, but it won't be the last, he says: "The Robes are just so much brighter than our previous moving lights. Obviously we needed a good selection of dynamic effects as well, to cater for the variety of performances staged here."
